Lovely cottage with everything you could need,

Had a great time and the cottage is lovely. Neil and Sharon were very gracious hosts and have seemingly thought of everything that visitors might need. Nicely located with amenities close by and a very nice pub just up the road. Quiet and peaceful village. Would definitely stay again next time I'm in Cornwall.

Amazing Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Daphne Cottage with our grandchildren, daughter and son in law. The cottage is beautifully decorated, has gorgeous bed linen and towels. The cottage is in a lovely village, close to beaches with a pub which serves meals and has a childrens play area close by as well as a general store . Neil was responsive to any queries we had. We would love to stay in Neil and Sharons cottage again

Pretty good place

This is a pretty good house, close to lots of things to do. Porthleven nearby is very nice. The house was nice, no locks on the toilet doors was a bit odd. The garden was overgrown when we got there and when I asked about cutting it so our 4 year old could play they said there’s a park around the corner. It was eventually cut on the Tuesday, we arrived on the Saturday. The kitchen was very well equipped and the house very comfortable. I would have give 4 stars but for the large dog in the caravan behind, it was constantly barking which wasn’t very relaxing. Neil did ask the owner of the dog to ask it to be quite, but it still stood barking whenever there was a slight noise in the neighbourhood.

Wonderful homely cottage

We had a super time at Daphne, cottage, it exceeded our expectations, just so nice and comfortable , ,we looked forward to returning at the end of every day. We cooked in for a few nights, basics such as salt/pepper, well stacked spice rack and olive oil was provided along with teas/coffee- really nice touch. And of course the Cornish cream tea scones!! The master bedroom was very comfortable, and a great electric shower. We were very well located in Breage, with many beautiful places close by, to visit, we had a car which allowed us to travel around all of Cornwall. The local Bar, the Queen Arms was literally a few steps away, served lovely food and has a weekly quiz which we really enjoyed. We would highly recommend Daphne cottage and hope to return sometime soon...
